This well-respected text gives an introduction to the modern approximation techniques and explains how, why, and when the techniques can be expected to work. The authors focus on building students' intuition to help them understand why the techniques presented work in general, and why, in some situations, they fail. With a wealth of examples and exercises, the text demonstrates the relevance of numerical analysis to a variety of disciplines and provides ample practice for students. The applications chosen demonstrate concisely how numerical methods can be, and often must be, applied in real-life situations. In this edition, the presentation has been fine-tuned to make the book even more useful to the instructor and more interesting to the reader. Overall, students gain a theoretical understanding of, and a firm basis for future study of, numerical analysis and scientific computing. A more applied text with a different menu of topics is the authors' highly regarded NUMERICAL METHODS, Third Edition.Burden, Richard L. is the author of 'Numerical Analysis' with ISBN 9780534915858 and ISBN 053491585X.[read more]

Forgot to even take pics when i got it so here is what they normally look like:
Hi everyone.
Been reading and book-marking all i could find about ev conversions on motorbikes since i had a test drive in my buddies BMW i3 electric car.
Instantly wanted one, but my wallet just isn`t up to it.
So a Zero or the like would be nice as well but frankly ... still kind of expensive over here in germany.
A conversion on the other hand might be just within reach. Especially if it stays within the envelope of what i want it for.
Having build my own design electric rc planes for at least 30 Years i found that there is hardly a difference between an e drive for motorcycles and planes apart the difference in power and Voltage, as well as the MOT ( i belive that is what it`s called - it is the "TÜV" over here we have to deal with) to make it street leagal.
Having a quite capable OD-DIY cnc shoud help somewhat as well. If only to remaind me that i managed that as well .
The Goal:
Having had my fair share of big/heavy and powerful motorbikes i always enjoy riding my trusty 81`SR500 that i own since 28 Years.. lately i had more and more been leaning towards smaller and light(footed) bikes to ride the small country roads surrounding my village. Might be an age thing but i just do not need a big travel bike anymore.. Sold all my big ones, leaving me with my trusty SR
So i want a motorbike to be used like your regular scooter, bakery, shops, lake, quick trip to city, commute to work (35 km 21 mil one way - i can charge there) or a run around the fields for an hour.
So highway speeds not strictly neccesary but it should top out above 100 km as not to be a nuisance to other drivers and certainly i do not want to get overtaken by trucks all the time (90 kph).
In order to get all over town i need aprox 80-90 km max distance ( slow riding) with onboard charging if i go over half of my amperage...
What i really want is a bike that has a bit of "grunt" - no need to out-do a 750 but being used to my old SR, acceleration should be within say 7-8 ish sec to 100 kph.
So reasonable preformance no outstanding needet.
The bike:
As stated before i want a nimble, smallish bike and i do prefer your typical sportbike. So instead of sourcing a say 600 or even 1000 cc donor bike to end up lighter when done, i figured to use a small type that may gain a few kg in the process but still stays lighter in the end and than the other way.
Most conversions of bigger bikes end up somewhere in the neighborhood of 190 kg whereas a tiny bike could end up say at 150kg. (assuming lifepo4 batts).
As there is no need to reinvent the wheel i figured i use following items:
I was hoping to use 25S72Ah Lifepo (these: https://www.ev-power.eu/index.php?cu...disc&anid=4490 ) which would have been perfect just to find out today that these had been discontinued. Perfect sice match and capacity easy to mount ... bummer.
-svencon controller
-throttle tbdt.
-kp 1200W charger for weight reason... maybe the 1500w one - depends
-most likely to run a seperate 12 V system as it is required anyway to make the bike street legal.
The plan:
Already got the donor bike and de iced it last two mornings.
Wanted to make templates during the course of this summer ... need some time to save up some money.
Try to do the build during the early winter and build the bat. in winter. too..
comes spring i would like to be ready to test it and make it street legal by summer.
Most likely this won`t work out as already now i need to completely change my battery setup which would have fitted perfectly.. grrrr.
Anyway that `s it for the moment, if anyone has a source for this bats, preferrably in EU...let me know
Some pics as well:
The bike with all needet and all ice removed but with tank is 79 kg as seen in pic its 72kg
Forgot to even take pics when i got it so here is what they normally look like:
Consider using a hub motor - it frees up loads of space. Check my signature for my thread.
LeFePo4 is kind of left behind since we got access to OEM class large format cells, I'd have a look for Opel Ampera cells (Volt in the US) from a breaker or Leaf (60AH might be a bit much, though).
My Suzuki RF400 build over at ES: http://endless-sphere.com/forums/vie...p?f=12&t=35865
(Enertrac MHM602, Kelly KHB14301, 6kWh AESC modules (Renault, Nissan))
Based in Dublin, Ireland
Well these cells would have fit perfect into the space within the framework and i like the idea of bottom ballancing lifepos.
I guess i will not use a hub motor for reusing my wheel that i already have and i do not like the idea of the undampened mass.
Unfortunately we do not have any resellers of nissan leaf type of batts here in germany. Guess it all is directly recycled by the mfg to keep public from a good deal...how dare we to buy used.
Would not even dare to ask shipping lipos from usa, cost hazzle....
thanks for your input though
A bit of progress at least one that is sort of visible...
No, i have not been lazy altogether, but most time has been spend for further researches.
For unlikely being able to source any leaf cells, i guess i will go with Lipos from Alibaba for lack of alternatives...
Think i will also go for a Kelly controller with the Me1115 for lack of anybody around me albe to help programming the svencons..
Anyway, managed to get the main attaching points into relation to each other via simple jigs, at first, and transfered them into CAD.
A milled out leftover wooden panel proved my drawings to be almost perfectly accurate. Just a single bolt needs to be moved by say 0,5mm to fit perfect.
Also included the motor axis as an aproximation and some paper cutouts to get an impression/ feel of how to use the avialible space.
Pics may look as the lower battery would not fit into the fairing but that is just caused by the angle of which the pic was taken.
Next i will cut some foam for simulating a bit more three dimensional..
so i have not been on idle...
In fact i managed to save nearly enough money for all the big chunks.
So before hitting the buy button i would like to get some more views on the following choice:
I am indecidet of which controller to order:
Kelly KLS96601-8080IPS which can sustain 240 Amps and 600 peak - recomendet for the Me 1115 motor.
the same as 500 amp variant for 200 amp and 500 peak
Remember my choosen motor can only run 125 amps consistantly and 420 peak and i will probably use a 400 amp fuse.
In general i am thinking of restricting power to 360 amps anyway in order to not overload the frame of the bike ( made for 15 kw in original state) - need to stay road leagal
Worth spending 100 us. Dollars aditional or just save them for some misc?
early this week i ordered Motor and controller.
Got a really great deal on it too.
While waiting on the parts to arrive i am trying to figure out which contactor to use
Will this one:
Gigavac GX14 12V 350+ Amp Contactor
work with the KLS Kelly Control ?
I did pick up somewhere that some Contactors wont work with certain controllers for whatever reasons ( language barrier... pwm or economiser) but it is hard for me to understand the tecnical terms in english..
Any help or sugestions would greatly be apreciated.
Hi all,
yesturday my motor and controller as well as throttle arrived
Of course i want to give it a spin - just to confirm everything works.
Plan is to use a minimal wireing loom.
So her comes a question that i could not find a satisfying answer myself.
Do i need a precharge transistor on the 12 V controller suply ?
I plan to hook up 24 Volts to motor (power -) side and 12 V seperately to the controller side.
Controller being Kelly KLS 96601 80801 I/Ips
You won't need a precharge resistor on the logics supply of the Kelly. Not sure if you still have to have it isolated from the vehicle 12V. I still have with 4s2p 18650s.
thanks for clarifying.
Yes i will have to keep it seperated as it is required here to be street legal.
Anyway while waiting for the bolts to be delivered (totally overlooked that the threats are not metric) and having the day off i went to play with the cad files somewhat.
This is what i have come up with so far, it still lacks the motor-face-mount .. as i have to make tamplates for that first. Which i could not do while i did not have to motor so far.
Hopefully by the weekend i have completed the testrun and will tackle that .
Also i will "close" up the plates using either c-channel or square tubing instead of just the bolts shown, to give it more rigitidy. but ther is no point of over engeneering while not even all templates been done...

Bamboo flooring is a great alternative to hardwood because it is beautiful, unique, and durable. At Floor Coverings International Brandywine Valley, we carry a wide variety of bamboo flooring. Bamboo floors are popular because they provide the natural feeling of hardwood while benefiting the environment. Bamboo regrows at a much quicker rate than other hardwoods, thus serving as an eco-friendly material. Bamboo is naturally a lighter wood, which makes for a unique look and feel.
Pros of Bamboo Flooring
- Like hardwood floors, bamboo flooring is very durable and will hold up to scratches and stains.
- It is slightly cheaper than hardwood.
- It is a very eco-friendly option, having a lesser environmental impact than other flooring options.
- It is very easy to maintain.
- It is a great option for pet owners, because the softer material is less susceptible to scratches.
There are many finishes for your bamboo floor that can create a new look by increasing the gloss or staining the color of the wood. Additionally, the finish will provide protection against scuffs, scratches, and spills. You can also stain the bamboo with darker stains for a more dramatic look. Like other hardwoods, bamboo should not be installed in areas where there are high levels of moisture such as bathrooms or basements.

31 artists...31 days. Spend every day of March with me at The Altered Page to meet the 31 spotlight artists in my book The Pulse of Mixed Media: Secrets and Passions of 100 Artists Revealed. See their beautiful faces, read their 'quirky' bios written in their own words, see some of their art that led me to invite them to be a part of my book, and hear my story of what they each mean to me. Then click on over to their sites and see what they have to say about The Pulse of Mixed Media.
I should have been an artist all my life.
Actually, I always have been an artist but it was just hidden under my corporate three-piece suits. Now I have ideas of pieces I want to make, of art I want to create, of techniques I want to try and, based on my age, I need to be working at a much faster pace.
Don't ask me to chat or to share my feelings or talk about my art -- I'm busy and don't have time for all that. And no hugging!
Don is one of only five "dudes" among the group of 31 spotlight artists. If you are already familiar with his artwork then you know that among his creations are those he calls the "dudes" - examples of which are shown in the images in this post. If you are already familiar with Don himself, then you know he, much like his art, has the perfect balance of humor and seriousness. And when you know Don, then you know Susan: his blog wrangler more formally known as his wife. They come as a matched set.
Don has fully immersed himself into the world of art, having arrived late to the party after a career in the Air Force and selling life insurance. He works hard to make up for lost time and spends his days creating unique sculpture, much of which is figurative, that is deeply etched with history and emotion.
I had the serious pleasure of spending a very laughter-filled afternoon with Don and Susan when they came to visit New York City a number of years ago. Don and I connected immediately, talking about what it is like to be among the few men in the mixed-media blogging world. Seeing art and people watching with Don and Susan was definitely an unforgettable experience. Let's do it again sometime dude!

With Thanksgiving only a month away, now is a good time to become familiar with all the little nuances for setting a formal table. Formal table setting is often considered stuffy and outdated. I admit to be one who likes the freedom to put my soup spoon and salad plate where ever I wish. However, with my love of the vintage and Victorian styles has also come a new respect for the formal table setting. Seeing everything lined up exactly where it should be gives me the giddy feeling of being a little girl playing tea party. There is still plenty of room to be creative with linens, table decor, colors, and the dishes themselves. Rules will vary depending on culture and personal preference. Also, you want to create a beautiful table so sometimes the rules need to be bent for the best overall effect. With this in mind, here is a general guideline for setting a formal table.
The service plate or charger (or dinner plate in my world) will be centered in front of the chair.
Soup bowls and salad plates are generally stacked on the service plate. These are sometimes brought out later.
Depending on your school of thought, cutlery should be one – two inches from the edge of the table or aligned to the bottom edge of the service plate. Items are placed in the order they will be used, beginning from the outer edges and working in toward the plate. Spoons will be placed on the right. Forks are placed on the left with the exception of small cocktail or oyster forks. These will be placed to the right of the dinner spoon. The dessert fork and spoon are placed above the service plate pointing in opposite directions, with the fork tines pointing right.
Knives are placed to the left of the dinner spoon with the cutting edge facing the service plate.
Water glasses go above the dinner knife while the red wine glass is placed to the right and slightly below the water glass. The white wine glass can be placed to the right and below the red wine glass or centered above the water and red wine glasses. A cup and saucer for tea and coffee can be placed on the right, after the spoons.
A bread and butter plate, if offered, has a place above the forks on the left. The bread knife is laid across the bread plate.
Your napkin and place card can be placed to your preference. The most common place for the napkin is on top of the service plate or to the left of the forks. Place cards can be set on top of the service plate or at the top of the table setting.
Use this diagram to help you set a lovely table.

Colloidal Silver: Risk Without Benefit
Stephen Barrett, M.D.
Colloidal silver is a suspension of submicroscopic metallic silver particles in a colloidal base. Long-term use of silver preparations can lead to argyria, a condition in which silver salts deposit in the skin, eyes, and internal organs, and the skin turns ashen-gray. Many cases of argyria occurred during the pre-antibiotic era when silver was a common ingredient in nose drops. When the cause became apparent, doctors stopped recommending their use, and reputable manufacturers stopped producing them. The official drug guidebooks (United States Pharmacopeia and National Formulary) have not listed colloidal silver products since 1975.
Dubious Ads
For more than 25 years, silver-containing products have been marketed with unsubstantiated claims that they are effective against AIDS, cancer, infectious diseases, parasites, chronic fatigue, acne, warts, hemorrhoids, enlarged prostate, and many other diseases and conditions. Some marketers have claimed that colloidal silver is effective against hundreds of diseases. During 1997 and 1998, for example, Changes International, a Florida-based multilevel company, stated:
Our colloidal silver contains 99.99% pure silver particles suspended indefinitely in demineralized water that kills bacteria and viruses. It can be applied topically and/or absorbed into the blood stream sub-lingually (under the tongue), thereby avoiding the negative effects of traditional antibiotics that kill good bacteria in the lower digestive tract.
An all natural antibiotic alternative in the purest form available. The presence of colloidal silver near a virus, fungi, bacterium or any other single celled pathogen disables its oxygen-metabolism enzyme, its chemical lung, so to say. The pathogens suffocates and dies, and is cleared out of the body by the immune, lymphatic and elimination systems.
Unlike pharmaceutical antibiotics which destroy beneficial enzymes, colloidal silver leaves these beneficial enzymes intact. Thus colloidal silver is absolutely safe for humans, reptiles, plants and all multi-celled living matter.
It is impossible for single-celled germs to mutate into silver-resistant forms, as happens with conventional antibiotics. Also, colloidal silver cannot interact or interfere with other medicines being taken. Colloidal silver is truly a safe, natural remedy for many of mankind's ills. Colloidal silver can be taken indefinitely because the body does not develop a tolerance to it [1].
During the pate 1990s, Seasilver International, a California-based multilevel company, claimed that American were suffering from "silver deficiency." Although silver is not an essential nutrient, the company's Web site ago stated:
The depletion of minerals in our soil has left us deficient of silver, one of our most essential trace minerals, causing a drastic increase in immune system disorders in our society in the last decade. Research has taught us that all disease is allowed to manifest itself because of a weakened immune system. In over 20 years of worldwide research on Colloidal Silver, numerous interviews with government agencies, health care practitioners and their patients, no other nutrient, herb or drug (prescription or over-the-counter) is as safe and effective against all known forms of unfriendly virus, bacteria, and fungus. Additionally, while it is generally known that most antibiotics kill only perhaps 6 or 7 different disease organisms, reports have shown that Colloidal Silver has been used successfully in the treatment of over 650 diseases! Furthermore, strains of disease organisms fail to develop in the presence of Colloidal Silver. Colloidal Silver's greatest attribute is its unique ability to function as a superior second immune system in the body! [2]
The ad below is from the July 1996 issue of Alternative Medicine Digest.
Critical Studies and Case Reports
In 1995, an herbal distributor named Leslie Taylor tested nine commonly marketed colloidal silver products available at health-food stores and concluded:
- Two of the products were contaminated with microorganisms.
- The amount of silver suspended in solution varied from product to product and would gradually decrease over time.
- Only five products actually showed antibacterial activity in a laboratory test. To perform the test, she prepared a culture plate with Staphylococcus aureas bacteria, which can cause infections in humans. She then placed a drop from each product on the plate and used disks of two common antibiotics as controls. After eight hours of incubation, she found that bacterial growth had been inhibited around the antibiotics and four of the products.
Of course, the fact that a product inhibits bacteria in a laboratory culture doesn't mean it is effective (or safe) in the human body. In fact, products that kill bacteria in the laboratory would be more likely to cause argyria because they contain more silver ions that are free to deposit in the user's skin.
FDA laboratory studies have found that the amount of silver in some product samples has varied from 15.2% to 124% of the amount listed on the product labels. The amount of silver required to produce argyria is unknown. However, the FDA has concluded that the risk of using silver products exceeds any unsubstantiated benefit [3]. So far, eleven cases of argyria related to silver products have been reported:
- A 56-year-old man who had sold and used colloidal silver for three years, developed blue/gray discoloration of his fingernails accompanied by a very high blood level of silver [4].
- A married couple who had three years of daily consumption of a drink prepared by administering an electrolytic charge to a bowl of water that contained a silver bar [5].
- Another couple had been taking a silver-containing "dietary supplement" prescribed by a naturopath [5].
- A mentally ill man who had been drinking silver-containing herbal tea for about 10 months [5].
- Stan Jones, Montana's Libertarian Party candidate for the U.S. Senate, who reportedly started taking colloidal silver in 1999 for fear that Y2K disruptions might lead to a shortage of antibiotics. He made his own concoction by electrically two silver wires in a glass of water [6].
- Two men, ages 63 and 76, developed argyria after a year of product use inspired by Internet claims [7].
- A 16-year-old boy developed blue-gray pigmentation of his entire body after ingesting a silver-containing dietary supplement for a year. The product, packaged so that it was identical to bottled water. was touted as a preventive for everyday infections [8].
FDA Actions
Between October 1993 and September 1994, the FDA issued warning letters to five colloidal silver marketers::
- Higher Education Library Publications (H.E.L.P.), of Springfield, Utah, was ordered to stop claiming that its colloidal silver product was effective as a natural antibiotic and might be effective against cancer, genitourinary diseases, tuberculosis, and AIDS.
- Nutrition, Inc., of Arvada, Colorado, was ordered to stop stating or implying that its Silvicidal, when administered orally or intravenously, was nontoxic, FDA-approved, and was a broad-spectrum antibiotic that killed bacteria and all virus and fungal infections. In addition, it was falsely claimed to be effective against a long list of specific diseases.
- Reseau International of Cincinnati, Ohio was ordered to stop claiming that its colloidal silver product was a "natural antibiotic and anti-inflammatory immune system stimulant" and that it was effective against cancer, staph, strep, influenza, general body infections, inflammation, impaired immune system, fungus toxicity, tonsillitis, Meniere's symptoms, whooping cough, shingles, syphilis, cholera, and malaria. The labeling also stated that colloidal silver could cause major growth stimulation of human tissues and can regenerate
- Silverado Inc., of Bountiful, Utah, was warned to stop making false claims that its colloidal silver product was effective as an antibiotic, anti-inflammatory, anti-viral, and anti-fungal agent and that it could stimulate the immune system.
- Unic, of Carmichael, California, was ordered to stop claiming that its colloidal silver product was effective against many diseases and could heal burn-damaged tissue without scarring.
In October 1996, the FDA proposed to ban the use of colloidal silver or silver salts in over-the-counter products [11]. A Final Rule banning such use was issued on August 17, 1999 and became effective September 16th. The rule applies to any nonprescription colloidal silver or silver salt product claimed to be effective in preventing or treating any disease [12]. Silver products can still be sold as "dietary supplements" provided that no health claims are made for them. During 2000, the FDA issued warnings to more than 20 companies whose Web sites were making illegal therapeutic claims for colloidal silver products. Since then it has issued at least 33 more. Here are the warning letters I have collected:
Other Enforcement Actions
In 2000, the Federal Court of Australia banned Vital Earth Company Pty Limited and its director Darryl John Jones from falsely representing that the colloidal silver produced by their "Vital Silver 3000 Zapper," "Vital Silver 2000 Automatic" and "Vital Silver 2000":
- Can kill all disease-causing bacteria, fungi and virus within six minutes of contact
- Has no harmful side effects; that colloidal silver could be used as an antibiotic for all the acquired diseases of active AIDS
- Is effective with more than 650 different pathogenic bacteria and virus types
- Has been used successfully against diseases including AIDS, cholera, diabetes, leprosy, leukemia, lupus, skin cancer, syphilis and whooping cough.
The company was also ordered to pay AUS$9000 in costs and to provide refunds [13].
In 2001, the FTC obtained consent agreements with two companies:
- Robert C. Spencer and Lisa M. Spencer, doing business as Aaron Company (Palm Bay, Florida). Colloidal silver has been medically proven to kill over 650 disease-causing organisms in the body and is effective in curing diseases ranging from cancer and multiple sclerosis to HIV/AIDS [14].
- ForMor, Inc., doing business as ForMor International, and its president, Stan Gross (Birmingham, Alabama) agreed not to make unsubstantiated claims that colloidal silver is effective in treating over 650 infectious diseases, has no adverse side effects, and is effective against arthritis, blood poisoning, cancer, cholera, diphtheria, diabetes, dysentery, gonorrhea, herpes, influenza, leprosy, lupus, malaria, meningitis, rheumatism, shingles, staph infections, strep infections, syphilis, tuberculosis, whooping cough, and yeast infections [14].
In 2002, the FTC obtained a consent agreement with Kris Pletschke, doing business as Raw Health, agreed to stop making unsubstantiated claims that its colloidal silver product could treat or cure 650 different diseases; eliminate all pathogens in the human body in six minutes or less; and is medically proven to kill every destructive bacterial, viral, and fungal organism in the body, including anthrax, Ebola, Hanta, and flesh-eating bacteria [15].
In 2002, the Australian Therapeutic Goods Administration amended its rules so that water-treatment products containing substances like colloidal silver for which therapeutic claims are made must meet the requirements of medicines included in the Australian Register of Therapeutic Goods. This means that such products can no longer be legally marketed without proof that they are safe and effective for their intended purpose. The amendment was based on conclusions that:
- There is little evidence to support therapeutic claims made for colloidal silver products;
- The risk to consumers of silver toxicity outweighs the value of trying an unsubstantiated treatment, and bacterial resistance to silver can occur
- Efforts should be made to curb the illegal availability of colloidal silver products, which is a significant public health issue [16].
Civil Lawsuits
Reno-based Beneficial Solutions LLC and its owner Russell B. Altman have been successfully sued by women Florida and South Dakota who developed argyria after taking the company's colloidal silver product (NutraSilver). Both suits charged that the company had falsely advertised that NutraSilver was effective and that colloidal silver particles are too small to cause argyria [18.19]. The first woman also developed peripheral neuropathy, a painful condition that her doctors thought were due to silver particles they could see in nerve biopsy specimens. Both suits were settled out of court with undisclosed payment. In 2018, the company posted a notice to its Web site stating that it has closed its doors "for personal reasons." Attorney Patrick R. Burns, who handled them, can represent people anywhere in the United States and offers a free consultation to anyone who may have been injured by a colloidal silver product.

I know, two in one day, I'm on a roll. But I shot a little video I wanted to share.
Mornings around here are completely unpredictable. The boys who wake me up sobbing and screaming for food, will often act like I've offered them a cat turd when I suggest that we eat.
Sometimes it's worse than that.
This morning, I give a B because the moment I walked away, they did come to the table to eat. But this is pretty par for the course at my house, I prepare breakfast and invite them to come sit down.
Then, this happens.
That's actually very little resistance.
There are even some words thrown into those tantrums if you listen. Well placed rational words.
Autism is so annoying.

Orphan Photo #45
This real photo postcard was originally featured on my other blog, GenBlog.
The message reads:
For her Great Grandmother Tower
From Ruth Evelyn Tower
Taken when she was 10 weeks old
Born June 6, 1913 Glendale, Calif.
Lots of interesting info here!
According to the 1910 census, it appears that Ruth Evelyn Tower is the daughter of Aplunso[?] and Pearl Tower. She's listed as living in Glendale at the age of 6. Both parents were born in Indiana.
I find a Ruth Tower Hodgson in the California Death Index (Ancestry) with the same birth date as that listed on the postcard. I was able to track down her son and have reunited him with this wonderful photo!

Sawyer at MSFT. Biggest perf tip is to put the VPC Virtual Hard Disks (VHD) to separate disk spindles from the operating system. The biggest perf issue with VPC is related to disk I/O … and by making the VPC fight with your OS and swap disk make this issue much, much worse. Additionally, today's USB 2.0 and Firewire external hard drives run on a fast interface bus (Firewire does have some advantages over USB 2.0, but both are excellent), have a large (8MB) buffer and spin at 7200 RPM, as opposed to 4200 RPM for most laptop HDD. Also, note the tip below regarding "Run Virtual PC at Maximum Speed" … this will give a boost to the VPC's thread priorities at the expense of the host OS applications. Depending on what you are using the VPC for, this may be exactly what you want. From a PPT Deck: Guidelines: Ideally Virtual PC performance is at: CPU: 96-97% of host Network: 70-90% of host Disk: 40-70% of host However this is only for optimized guest operating systems running typical loads for a single process The Virtual PC team's aim is always to provide the fastest possible solution while not compromising compatibility While virtual machines are not slow – there is always the potential for an unusual application to cause performance issues Performance Tuning Guest Performance – Preferences Check "File … Options" Running guest in background: Enable "Run Virtual PC at Maximum Speed" Running a test on multiple guests: Enable "All running virtual machines get equal CPU time" Memory Host should have a minimum of 256MB, 512MB – 1024MB recommended More memory is recommended for running multiple virtual machines simultaneously Each guest should be allocated memory like it would on a physical machine Virtual machines cannot use paged memory on the host system Additional Disk Optimizations Virtual Hard Disk size Compress them Defrag guest Clear unused sectors ( Cipher, Eraser, etc.) DO NOT attempt this step on a differencing drive – it will expand the disk to maximum size and you cannot compact it. Compact using Virtual Disk Wizard Enable NTFS compression on host operating system Trades off performance for file size Virtual Hard Disk performance Place the .VHD files on separate spindle from host OS If using Undo or Differencing Disks, place them on an additional spindle « Scott Hanselman (that's me) on .NET Rock... | Blog Home | Scott Hanselman's .NET Rocks show is up ... » About Scott Scott Hanselman is a former professor, former Chief Architect in finance, now speaker, consultant, father, diabetic, and Microsoft employee.

BarFly's staff notation is not pretty, but it puts the line breaks where I want them. Four staff lines. Which is what I'm seeing as this board displays it above.
When I export from BarFly to abcm2ps, I get a mess. The line break before the C part is ignored and the tune is allocated to 5 staff lines, with the start of the C part obscurely hidden in the middle of a line.
When exporting to abcm2ps, BarFly gives me a choice between "auto" linebreaks and "every n bars" - neither of which is what I want.
How do I persuade abcm2ps to do what I mean?

Pain of poverty sticks, despite support of neighbors or spouses
Being married or having the support of neighbors to rely on does little to alleviate the symptoms of depression associated with economic hardship often experienced by poor mothers. With these findings, published in Springer's American Journal of Community Psychology, Sharon Kingston of Dickinson College in the US challenges the growing perception that marriage and other forms of interpersonal support can buffer the negative effects of poverty.
In studying 1,957 mothers from 80 neighborhoods in Chicago, Kingston examined the combined effect of economic adversity and having interpersonal resources such as the support of family and friends, a spouse and a socially unified neighborhood to rely on. Participants were all part of the Project on Human Development in Chicago Neighborhoods.
Kingston used household income, financial strain and the poverty levels of participants' neighborhoods as measures of economic adversity. Financial strain measures the inability to afford necessities. Being unable to successfully provide needed resources to their children can be stressful to mothers. Likewise, the socio-economic status of a neighborhood can also be acutely stressful to them because of high levels of crime and poor quality recreation, school and childcare options.
She found that these all added to increased depressive symptoms among mothers. Not surprisingly, women with minor children who reported lower household incomes, higher levels of financial strain and who lived in low socio-economic neighborhoods reported more depressive symptoms than more affluent mothers. Being married was associated with fewer depressive symptoms than being single. However, marital status did little to alleviate symptoms of depression felt by mothers of poorer families.
Interestingly, Kingston found that even though women who received support from friends and family had fewer depressive symptoms, such relationships did not counter the effects of family income and financial strain.
"Risks related to economic adversity will in all likelihood not be mitigated by efforts to bolster interpersonal support such as marriage support programs targeted to low-income parents," concludes Kingston. "Interventions that directly target economic conditions at the family or neighborhood level may be more likely to have positive effects on a mother's well-being."

While at the HBO portion of the TCA Press Tour, President of Programming Michael Lombardo and co-President Richard Plepler took some time to talk about new and returning programming. During the interview, they spoke about how long Game of Thrones and True Blood could run for, the status of the Entourage movie, their movie deal with Larry David and the affect that could have on future seasons of Curb Your Enthusiasm, their thoughts on the first season of The Newsroom, the possibility of a fourth season for Treme, and what viewers can expect from the Woody Harrelson/Matthew McConaughey series True Detective. Check out what they had to say after the jump.
Question: Provided the ratings stay at or about at their current level, how long do you see Game of Thrones and True Blood going for, and would Game of Thrones keep going on its own, if you run out of George R.R. Martin books?
RICHARD PLEPLER: Well, as long as George keeps writing, we'll keep producing, and he seems very excited with that proposition. As long as he sees fit to keep creating, so will we.
MICHAEL LOMBARDO: Yeah. And I think with True Blood, the show's obviously doing well. This coming year will be the first year Alan Ball is taking a little bit of a step back, but creatively, they're still engaged and excited by the storytelling. As long as it continues to be performing with the consumer and, more importantly, exciting the storytellers, I think we're there.
Do you know anything about the progress of the Entourage movie, and where that stands now?
LOMBARDO: As of this week, Doug [Ellin] is on page 65. He's writing a film script, and he's excited about it. I heard a very general pitch for it. After we take a look at the script, we will see if there is any interest. We still have to make deals with the cast, and then figure out whether it is something that makes sense or not. But, he's in process of writing, as we speak.
What can you tell us about the movie deal you made with Larry David?
LOMBARDO: It is not for a Curb movie, but Larry is starring.
Will he be playing himself?
LOMBARDO: No, he's not playing the Larry David from Curb Your Enthusiasm
What does a Larry David movie mean for future seasons of Curb?
PLEPLER: Well, it means whatever Larry wants it to mean, for future seasons of Curb. He essentially has carte blanche with us. Don't quote us on that because he'll take it, but he does. And when he wants to come back and do Curb, we'd be thrilled. Right now, he wants to do the movie, so we are thrilled about that.
LOMBARDO: After the last season of Curb, Larry sat down and said, "What is it that I want to do?," and it was this film that he wanted to do. But, I don't think he's closed the door to another season of Curb. I think he wants to do another season of Curb, if he has a great idea for another season of Curb.
You were in works with Lisa Cholodenko to do a pilot for The Kids Are All Right. Is that still something that you're working on?
LOMBARDO: Yes, we actually just got the draft in, a couple of weeks ago, and we're continuing to develop it with her.
Can you give us any idea of the story for the next season of Eastbound & Down?
LOMBARDO: I feel remiss doing that. They are sitting down right now. They've pitched an idea that they have for this season, but Danny [McBride] and Jody [Hill] are just sitting down now. Things happen in the writing process. I'd be more comfortable talking to you [about that] at the January TCA.
What's the timeline on when you have to make a decision on a fourth season of Treme?
LOMBARDO: Well, we are airing the show in the fall, behind Boardwalk Empire. Customarily, we would make a decision after the show premieres. We produce the show ourselves. At the same time, we are absolutely having conversations with David [Simon] now about, "Should there be a fourth season, and what would a fourth season look like?" There are certain exigencies of producing a show like that, in New Orleans, such as working around the hurricane schedule. So, normally, we would say it's way premature, but we are talking to him now. Hopefully, we will have a decision, one way or another, so that we don't miss shooting around the hurricane season, if we want to go forward.
You've already renewed The Newsroom, but how happy are you with the season, creatively?
PLEPLER: We are very proud of it. There is nobody who writes as Aaron [Sorkin] writes, and nobody who can resonate and create a conversation like Aaron can. There are seven million people a week, who are coming back to that show in a very competitive landscape, and who love it. And I think there is only one Aaron Sorkin, and we are very proud that he's working with us and very proud that he's going to do another season.
Can you talk about your decision to end the deal with Scott Rudin and how that will affect The Newsroom?
PLEPLER: Scott, who is a great producer, remains attached to The Newsroom. I think the question was just capacity and the realization that, right now, blessedly, we have a lot in line to do. He wanted to move on some things that perhaps we weren't ready to move on, and so we felt that it would be right to give him that flexibility. I think it works well for him, and works well for us.
What is True Detective going to look like?
LOMBARDO: True Detective is light years away from The Wire and The Sopranos. True Detective is set in the South. It's very much a character piece. In a genre that's well trafficked, both in film and television, you read something like True Detective, and it blows your socks off. And then, there's the cast, with Woody Harrelson and Matthew McConaughey, and Cary Fukunaga directing, so it's a no-brainer. But, we never thought about the other shows, quite honestly.
And that's an anthology, of some sort?
LOMBARDO: Yes, the idea right now is that this particular narrative ends after the episodes are completed.
Have they told you what they would attempt in future seasons?
LOMBARDO: No, we haven't had that conversation.

Product Description
We all face hardships and tragedies, but it's our hope in Christ that allows us to Keep Movin' Along. This timeless truth is one that The Perrys know very well as they have recorded their first album without the strength and presence of beloved bass singer Tracy Stuffle. Despite this change, Keep Movin' Along has everything we've come to expect from The Perrys: big ballads, convention songs, crowd pleasers and the Gospel message. Get out your hankie for the title song, which is a convention-style song from the Stamps-Baxter songbook. Written by William Combs in 1945, "Keep Movin' Along" was one of the songs that brought Southern Gospel music to the forefront as a genre. The first single for radio is "It Never Gets Old." Co-written by Rodney Griffin (Greater Vision) and Scott Inman (Triumphant Quartet), this up-tempo song celebrates our salvation: "...I don't know why he gifted me with a newfound grace that would set me free, but I know that the older I get, it never gets old." With themes of trusting God's faithfulness no matter what, and being made new through the blood of Jesus, fans are sure to love the album Keep Movin' Along.

How to Measure Powder Value
What things should we consider as we evaluate different powder suppliers? How can we compare them so that we get the best material at the best possible price? How can we best determine the right source for our powder?
Q. We have been buying powder from several different sources for a few years and we want to see if we can lower our costs by going to just one or two suppliers. We hope that by locking in on one supplier for most or all of our powder we can get a better price and superior service. Each supplier has provided good powder at a fair price so far, but we are not sure how to measure the value of one over the other. What things should we consider as we evaluate different suppliers? How can we compare them so that we get the best material at the best possible price? How can we best determine the right source for our powder? M.B.
A. Start by evaluating the handling and application properties of the powder. How well does it fluidize and flow? Then evaluate the coverage. Look at film build uniformity, edge coverage and Faraday cage coverage. Also check opacity of the coating and how much film it takes to provide total hiding of the substrate.
Featured Content
Next, evaluate the material cost per applied square foot. Powder coatings have different molecular weights and hiding capabilities that will affect the coverage. The specific gravity (a measurement of molecular weight), the color and the amount of fillers will affect how much coverage a coating can provide. You need to know the applied cost. Applied cost is based on the ability of a pigmented coating to hide the surface at a set film thickness while providing the appearance and performance properties that are necessary for that product. Compare the same product from different sources. One powder material could have a cheaper selling price but a higher applied cost because of a high molecular weight. High specific gravity may mean the powder will cover less square feet.
square foot per pound = 192.3 × percent material utilization
film thickness in mils × specific gravity
cost per applied square foot = cost per pound
square foot per pound
It is very possible that a powder with higher cost per pound is the best value because it provides better coverage. Molecular weight and theoretical coverage is something that can be looked at for reference, but your decision should not rest on them alone. For example, a white-pigmented powder coating with lower pigment concentration may have a lower specific gravity that indicates better theoretical coverage but will require more film build to properly hide the surface. Another key factor is service. Good technical support and reliable delivery are essential to powder value.

Instead of providing all the functionality of a graphic design program or GIS, TypeBrewer strips type selection down to its basic elements: font family, text size, letter spacing, and label density (i.e., tracking). It offers a quick and easy way to explore typographic alternatives and see the impact they have on the overall "look and feel" of a map. TypeBrewer is designed for mapmakers who want to learn more about map typography and get text specifications for starting a map project.
At the core of TypeBrewer are twelve typographic "palettes". These are combinations of font families that vary in text size, letter spacing, and label density. They can be applied to a wide range of possible projects to help achieve important map design goals, such as:

Rosa species, Rosa cultivars
Plants of Home and Garden, Trees and Shrubs, Herbs
Seed experiences dormancy, and is sown in early fall, or chip and sow 2" apart, kept warm for 1-4 months, stratified in fridge 2-3 months, and sown out. Can take several growing seasons to germinate. Once established, provide with ample water and sunlight; good drainage to at least 1 1/2-2' essential, though heavier soils also tolerated. Fertile soil appreciated, as is very good light, though some forms tolerate considerable shade. Note that named cultivars typically do not grow true from seed. Zone 2-10
Use flowering shoots for stem cuttings, several nodes long, remove flower, and treat with moderate-strength rooting hormone. Plant, keep in good indirect light. May transplant again when roots appear in 2-3 weeks. May also use hardwood cuttings, later in year
Transplant larger specimens, i.e. store-bought plants, into 1 1/2' holes, after pouring in a small heap of rich organic medium, and lower roots onto this. Set the bud union of grafted plants at ground level in warm climates, 2" below ground if exposed to frost. Water then mulch for first few weeks
Bare-root specimens should never be allowed to dry out, and be planted as soon as possible, as described above. If unable to dig them into their final locations, then "heel" them in: bury in rich moist soil slanted almost horizontally, with only the tips of the branches sticking out
Some of the so-called species roses do well in drier climates: Rosa acicularis, Rosa arkansana, Rosa rubrifolia, as do some cultivars; species roses are very suitable to natural-looking gardens. Rosa majalis, May rose, Rosa gallica, French rose, and Rosa canina, dog rose, are also quite useful in this setting, as is Rosa rugosa, the Japanese rose, which tolerates heavy winds. These species variably hardy zones 4-9
Rosa damascena, the damask rose, is the main source of rose attar; Rosa gallica officinalis is the apothecary rose; both are hardy to zone 5

Third escape at Woodland Hills, despite security upgrades
From Corporate Media
Another break out at Woodland Hills Youth Development Center Friday left officials scrambling to improve security there for the third time this month.
Around 11 p.m. Friday, 13 teenagers broke out of the juvenile lockup after two of them attacked a guard and stole his keys and radio.
Metro police working alongside the Tennessee Highway Patrol had taken 12 of the teens back into custody within hours. Sixteen-year-old Timothy B. Willis from Lawrence County, whose record includes theft, assault and runaway charges, was brought into custody early Sunday morning..
After overpowering the guard, the teens used his keys to get out of their dorm and into an outdoor courtyard on the complex, according to a DCS statement. One of them wriggled through a small gap between the perimeter fence and a rolling gate.
He threw a rock through the guard house window on the other side and opened the gate, freeing the others. (more…)

Woven & Sewn in Time is an extraordinary collection of woven and sewn artworks created by artists living from Alaska in the west, through British Columbia, the Northwest Territories, Arctic Canada in Nunavut and Nunavik, to Ontario and Labrador in the east. The only exception is the inclusion of works by Māori artists from Aotearoa (New Zealand) in our quest to continue our cross-cultural connection across the Pacific.
The original idea of this exhibition was to support exceptional woven Inuit grass baskets being made in the Canadian Arctic. The collection grew through a series of baskets coming into our hands through circumstance from Alaska and Labrador. The focus broadened even further when we discovered other woven and sewn containers, Innu tea dolls from Labrador, Dene birch bark baskets from the Northwest Territories, and Ojibway quill baskets from Ontario. We decided to take some further liberties with the "loosely woven" theme to include many varied contemporary interpretations on traditional containers. We encouraged artists to have fun, stretch their imagination, to take tradition in a more contemporary direction by utilizing new materials, colours and designs. The result is this inspired collection that includes many beautiful, innovative, often non-functional art objects ranging in materials from glass, silver, stone, brass, merino wool, jade to caribou tufting.
This exhibition was an adventure for our gallery, broadening our knowledge into the weaving world. We discovered a wealth of talent creating the most beautiful woven and sewn art. The variety, quality and originality of the artworks have surpassed our expectations. We know that there are many interested collectors around the world who will be as surprised and excited as we are.
Our thanks to the Najuqsivik Society for providing photos of the Sanikiluaq artists.

Networker to buy BeAtHome.com
FARGO, N.D.-Wireless home automation company BeAtHome.com announced in January it had agreed to be acquired by home connectivity platform developer Echelon Corp., an acquisition that is expected to be completed by the end of this month.
Company officials from San Jose, Calif.-based Echelon said their interest in the company lay in the potential combination of BeAtHome.com's platform, an Internet-based platform that offers home owners, property managers or other end-users remote control over devices in a home or other location, and Echelon's own device connectivity system.
Where BeAtHome had concentrated on U.S. homes, Echelon was already recognized as a significant player in the worldwide networking market, said BeAtHome Founder and President Thor Iverson. The combination of the two platforms could play host to a wide range of applications, he said, such as in utility management and energy services.
The transaction is subject to the approval of BeAtHome's shareholders.

The Records, Day One: 1963-1964
Meeting the Beatles for the first time, what did we hear? Did we know? Could we have ever known? Today, we will look at the first three shots from the Fab Four, from 1963-1964. To Re-meet the Beatles, start here.
Please Please Me | Please Please Me 2 | With the Beatles | Meet the Beatles | A Hard Day's Night
Please Please Me (1963)
For North Americans of a certain age, the album newly remastered as Please Please Me was a prequel. We purchased it in 1964 as Introducing the Beatles on Vee-Jay Records -- after we'd been set aflame by Meet the Beatles and unattached 45s like "She Loves You" and "From Me to You". But no matter how the record companies slice and dice the goodies, "Please Please Me" on CD is probably the best studio reproduction of the early Beatles' stage act. (That raw-yet-innocent big beat was also captured on The Beatles Second Album, another North America-only album title.)
Please Please Me embodies the no-guarantees rocky road traveled by the fledgling Beatles, which is hard to appreciate in retrospect. The album is a flavorful salad of cover songs and promising Lennon-McCartney originals, recorded mostly in February 1963 in London's EMI studios, supervised by George Martin when he was a slightly skeptical classically trained old fogy (he was 36). Because EMI's U.S. partner, Capitol Records, had yet to warm up to the mop tops, a deal was cut with Vee-Jay, a Chicago-based R&B label that had enjoyed successes with Jerry Butler, Gene Chandler and the Four Seasons. The not-quite-yet-Fab Four came in a package with a now-forgotten British chart-buster named Frank Ifield.
One clue to the collection's primordial qualities is the cover photo -- both the one on the original and another on the remastered version -- in which Ringo has suspiciously short hair, having just joined the group after Pete Best was sacked because EMI had complained that the handsome original drummer was a weak link. Curiously, the album includes "I Saw Her Standing There", which Capitol would later see fit to repeat on Meet the Beatles, but it does not include the Beatles' veritable theme song during their radio appearances, "From Me to You". (It would not show up on an album until the 1 collection in 2000.)
"Please Please Me", the song, was born in the minds of John and Paul as a slower-paced ballad. Only after Martin suggested speeding it up did it become the exuberant teen thriller we love, and the producer called out from the mixing booth, "Congratulations, gentlemen, you've just made your first No. 1 record." Elsewhere, the songwriting displayed by the rookie Lennon-McCartney team is pleasant and romantic, but formulaic. Good journeymen efforts, but the numbers lack the subtle and jaunty confidence the duo would later display.
"Love Me Do", the Beatles' first song to chart, boasts perhaps the band's most primitive lyrics (okay, outside of "Why Don't We Do It In the Road?"). It's strangely indecisive -- is it a blues plea or a shallow ballad? But it's relaxing in a folky way. Its hidden drama lies in the fact that there were two versions, one with drumming by studio session man Andy White, another with Ringo. (Yet a third, using Pete Best, was released on the 1995 Anthology.) The Beatles' use of simple chords and earnest vocals continues on such charmers as "Misery" and "P.S. I Love You" (early glimpses of Lennon's chip on the shoulder and McCartney's sentimentalism). The vibrant "Ask Me Why" allows Lennon to show off his intensity. The two lead voices blend beautifully in the lonely ballad "There's a Place" (inspired by the West Side Story number "Somewhere".) Lennon and McCartney wrote the rigid but lovely "Do You Want to Know a Secret?" and generously handed it to George Harrison for a vocal that's firm but of limited range. During this show-bizzy, pre-psychedelic era, John and Paul could get away with its schmaltzy "doo wah doo" as a backup vocal.
The heart of this debut album is its set of cover versions of red-hot American pop and R&B hits. There's no shame in exploiting other artists' work if you reinterpret it and attract a wider audience. The young Beatles had their horizons broadened when they purchased U.S. records that British sailors had brought back to Liverpool. The Liverpudlians proceeded to make brilliant adjustments and cycle them back to a largely white American teen market to which the songs seemed spanking new. The self-pitying but contagious "Anna", by Arthur Alexander, on which John practically weeps, was just one of several Alexander numbers the Beatles performed on stage and on BBC radio, others being "Soldier of Love" and "A Shot of Rhythm and Blues". (Lennon would later acknowledge his composition "All I've Got to Do" as a tribute to Alexander.)
Equally intense is Lennon's vocal and Paul/George's harmonies on the Burt Bacharach-penned "Baby It's You". The low-note guitar solo mimics the organ on the Shirelles' version—both of which conjure the desperation of love gone wrong on some now-deserted high school dance floor. Less successful were the group-sung cover of Carole King's "Chains", (not one of her cleverer melodies), and the McCartney-led "A Taste of Honey", a theme from a 1961 flop of a movie. Ringo's rendition of the Shirelles' "Boys" -- which launched the pattern of each album containing a Ringo sampling -- is hard to embrace since it was written from a female perspective.
Which leaves for last the album's piece de resistance: the Beatles' party-climaxing reinterpretation of the Isley Brothers' "Twist and Shout". This gem was the final task in a marathon 12-hour studio session that left Lennon's voice so hoarse he had to gargle with milk before rising to the challenge. Yet the result is a complete reimagining of the original, changing the pace from reggae staccato to an ambling sexual invitation. The climbing-octaves vocal that gives three different Beatles each a turn became a staple of dance-floor lip-synchers. Its pelvis-jolting allure makes you never want to head home.

Amazing how many eBay sellers seem to "forget" to ask for the required documentation. Halfords, on the other hand, seem to need the deeds to your house and a letter signed by two barristers in comparison. Unless the car is outside the shop, of course - which nullifies the requirement.

The debate over whether Rihanna and Chris Brown should be reunited in more than just song has reached a fever pitch with the leaks of Rihanna's "Birthday Cake" remix featuring Brown, and Brown's "Turn Up the Music" remix featuring Rihanna.
Officially split up since he was arrested for assaulting her in 2009, the singers have continued to fascinate the public with their on-again, off-again "friendship" and banter on Twitter. Despite restraining orders that until 2011 required Brown to keep more 50 feet away from his former love, it was a not-so-well-kept secret that the two never stopped communicating, using secret messages and Twitter to remain in contact. The young stars seemed, and still appear, completely unaware of the conflicting and damaging message they're sending their young fans—and of the slippery slope they both stand upon. Could they be oblivious to the two that came before them?
Whitney Houston was America's sweetheart and a bigger star when she fell for bad boy and fellow singer Bobby Brown.
There's little doubt that Houston was equipped with a few "bad girl" ways of her own before Brown entered the picture, but she was able to put that aside and charm the world with her talent and infectious smile. Brown could do no such thing, and his bad judgment and attitude continued through the marriage and even flowed over into last week, as he attempted to bring an entourage to Houston's funeral. In Brown's defense, his guests were his own children, but it could be argued that only one of his children needed him that particular day: Bobbi Kristina, his daughter with Houston.
Chris Brown appears to possess that same bad judgment and anger, throwing chairs out of studio windows after major interviews and posting crazy rants on Twitter. Though neither he nor Rihanna will comment on the possibility of a rekindled romance, it's difficult to ignore the loads of emotional energy between the two in the new singles.
Can romance really be far behind? One can only hope that after three years, these young adults appreciate the spotlight as well as the pressure that will surely intensify around their every move if they do indeed reunite. More important, one can only hope they both understand the long-term and devastating consequences of holding on to the "wrong one."
The couple seemed sweet enough when they revealed their romance in 2008. Though they had achieved international fame with their music, both at times appeared better suited for a stint at a junior college, away from the lights and cameras of stardom.
Their tweets and endless posting of pictures showing them kissing and napping together were indeed adorable but also highlighted their youth and the need to keep their love and love lives out of the spotlight and tabloids as much as possible. They needed time to achieve the emotional maturity required to navigate such a high-profile romance.
That lack of emotional savvy and skill would become all too clear in 2009, when Brown was arrested for assaulting Rihanna after a pre-Grammy party. No doubt the pressure from such a whirlwind, well-publicized love affair took its toll on both parties, and Rihanna's bruised and battered face in police reports was the undeniable proof.
Fans were outraged at the assault, with Brown receiving five years' probation for the felony attack. Most thought that tough punishment would be the end of the road for the young lovebirds but, in true Bobby-and-Whitney style, the two appear unable to exist without each other.

Interior Design Program Overview
About SJSU Interior Design
The award winning Interior Design Program at San José State University with its emphasis in Interior Architecture provides students with an excellent education preparing them to enter the design and technology rich environment surrounding Silicon Valley. Interior Architecture is a critical design discipline that influences social, economic and environmental forces and our curriculum supports these aspects of the profession by offering courses that focus on social demands and new client needs, new developments in technology, and sustainable design initiatives.
What to Expect
The program, established over 50 years ago, is open to all interested students both entering as recent high school graduates and as transfers from junior colleges. The curriculum provides our students with a strong foundation in conceptual design and development through a five-semester studio and visual communication sequence that introduces interior and architectural issues of increasing difficulty and detail. We also offer a broad range of courses that support the increasingly diverse and complex spectrum of knowledge that Interior Architects are expected to have. Students study lighting design, product and furniture design, digital design and fabrication, adaptive reuse and sustainable design. Taking advantage of our locale, our students often collaborate with civic partners, local professionals and engage in real client and community-based projects. This tradition, in addition to a required internship, helps prepare students for professional practice. Upon graduation, students are prepared for a lifetime of practicing Interior Design or continuing their education in a Master's of Architecture program.
Award-Winning Talent
Over the last five decades SJSU students have won numerous design awards and competitions sponsored by the International Interior Design Association (IIDA), the Planning and Visual Education Partnership (PAVE) and the American Institute of Architects (AIA). Our graduates have been a critical in rethinking and reinventing the workplace by designing interiors for companies such as Apple, Facebook, and eBay. Many of our former students work for global design firms such as Gensler and have gone on to effect change throughout the world. Our graduates also often go on to establish their own successful design studios and become leaders in the profession.

The im485P is an RS-485 interface module. It enables a 3.3V device (e.g., a microcontroller) to communicate with nodes on an RS-485 network. It uses the 3.3V Sipex SP3078E RS-485/RS-422 transceiver chip, which has a 1/8 Load and Failsafe operation, enabling 256 nodes on a single bus.
Note: This version of the module can not be used as the end node. See the in485P-M-TBP for a version with terminating resistors.
This module makes the five pins (0V, B, A, 3.3V, Vx) available via a 5-pin, 3.5mm Terminal Block connector; a plug-in block with screw terminals is included. The connections are marked on the PCB.
The pin pitch is 0.1" so you can use the module also on any typical prototyping board or breadboard.
For information about the iMod pinout, download this iMod Overview. Find other iMod modules in our iMod Category.
Below the header option selector, you will see checkboxes for adding extra or alternative header strips (e.g. in case you want to populate all five pin holes on each side). If you want to install the socket strips on your prototype so that you can plug in this module with Round Swiss pins, you either can break apart the 6-pin socket into 4+2 pins, or change and Update the quantity of sockets to 2 during checkout. (While a 5-pin socket is not available as a separate item, you can break off one pin from the 6-pin sockets to make them into 5-pin sockets.)
As this module only actually uses six pins (4+2), you could get just one 6-pin strip and break it down, so those strips are listed below also.
